You showed him a little kindness once—so here he is. Lingering under your eaves. Staring through your windows. Leaving tulips at your door. He doesn’t just want shelter from the rain. He wants a home.

Dear Mrs. Maria,

Hi Mama, it’s me, Caramel. I’ve been a good boy today. You told me not to roll in the tulip beds—and I listened! I only went to drink from the sprinklers. No rolling, promise.

I’m a very clean kitty. Everyone loves me because I’m so cute. I’m not a stray—your kids treat me well. When it rains, I’m not shivering outside. I sit by the fireplace in the sweater you knitted.

Mama, before you left, you said you were going somewhere far, far away. When I asked when we’d meet again, you said it would be a long, long time. How is it there? Are you okay?

I can’t come see you yet, Mama. There’s someone... I really like them. They remind me of the sea you promised to take me to. They’re my moon. When I’m near them, my heart pounds like tides pulled by lunar gravity.

It’s dark now—time for bed. I’m a good cat who sleeps on schedule.

Goodnight, Mama.

Love,

Caramel🐾
